You should be fine with most amps in the compartment below the foam, especially an amp for just door speakers.

Also, my friend has a DBDrive 1600 amp which I repaired for him. It's class-D, and actually runs hotter than my SS 1000sx which is class-ab. Class-d is not all that it is cracked up to be in some cases and depends a lot upon construction, design, sync material, and driving loads. In my experience repairing amps this has come more apparent, and the irrelevance both widened and narrowed between the differences of Class-AB and Class-D. Class-D has a lot of hype and not a whole lot of real good amps using it correctly. I've seen maying using components designed for AC/DC motors and not for Audio.

Yes, Zed makes great amps. I'm glad to see they are making them again as they were the original pioneer car-amp designers of the 70s-90s. They built the first 2x200w amp for cars and called it a very early series Hifonics Zeus.
